So, last week was IFA. Since there was all sorts of crazy device announcements and whatnot happening, we didn't have a ton of time to cover app updates. No fear, we still had eyes on everything that was happening on the Play Store (or at least most). Among those things was a Flickr update.

This bumps the app up to 3.1.2 and brings some new stuff. Since "stuff" is pretty vague, here's a more detailed list:

Seriously, about friggin' time they've introduced a search your own photos ability. This was an absolute must have for any photo storage / display / organization service, and the fact they took 4 years of development of their Android App (which for about 2.5-3yr of that really sucked as an app) was quite telling!

I've run into countless situations where I wanted to show a photo from the 5,000+ I have on Flickr (I'm a paid lifetime pro member btw, so I feel justified in complaining about the app and services) but it was virtually impossible to find the photo using the built in search, which would only search the entire Flickr, and it also seemed it would only search the entire recent flickr sphere, not the overall billions of photos up there.

Seriously about time. A feature that should have been in their app since launch, now included.
